This Uchiha Itachi is very lonely

In front of him, Sakamoto Yusheng is no longer the immature boy who had a long talk with Konoha two years ago.

A little beard has grown on his chin, which seems to be deliberately left unshaved in order to show his maturity.

Compared with what he saw in Konoha at that time, his behavior was less innocent and arrogant, and more modest.

"Fairy Wood"

"You are still so polite."

When Sakamoto Yusheng greeted Itachi, there was a hint of deep thought in his eyes.

This Uchiha Itachi is really different from ordinary ninjas.

But after a pause, he turned his gaze to the ninja who was wearing an animal mask next to him, "Is this Anbu your bodyguard?"

"To be precise, it should be the guard of the three generations of adults." Itachi explained, "But because I am relatively young, he was worried about leaving me alone, so he specially arranged... Hei Xue to follow."

Kuroyuki is Kakashi's code name for Anbu.

And Kakashi nodded calmly at Sakamoto Yusheng, and did not speak.

"Is that so..."

Sakamoto Yusheng looked at Kakashi thoughtfully, not caring about his rude behavior.

After all, this is the normal ninja's reaction.

But soon, he smiled and waved again, signaling them to enter the mansion, "Hurry up and enter the house, I have already prepared food and tea."

"In the morning, my elder brother just sent some excellent venison, and we happened to taste it together. I remember that you are also a person who can eat."

"As for fine wine, in recent years, my physical condition has been unstable, so... I stopped drinking."

big brother...

It should be the daimyo's eldest son, Sakamoto Natsuharu.

If nothing else, Sakamoto Xia Qing will be the next generation of fire country daimyo.

"What happened, you do look a little thin."

Itachi asked concerned.

As early as when they met back then, he had seen that Sakamoto Yusheng's body was indeed relatively thin compared to ordinary people, and even his complexion was paler than ordinary people, looking... a bit weak...

This is extremely rare for aristocrats who are well-off in everything.

"The root of the disease left by nature."

Sakamoto Yusheng led them towards the mansion, and regretfully replied, "In terms of body absorption capacity, it is much worse than ordinary people."

"No matter how good you eat, if your body can't absorb it, it's useless."

"Have you asked a medical ninja to look at it?"

Itachi asked again, but he already knew the answer in his heart.

"Of course, the eldest brother specially invited Princess Tsunade, known as the "medical master" in Konoha Village, to help, but... what is missing is difficult to make up for, especially for people like us who cannot refine chakra. . "

Sakamoto Yusheng replied with a wry smile, "She suggested that I exercise more to promote the body's metabolism, and then make the body hungry and absorb the food more consciously."

"But this kind of thing is not so easy."

"I just feel that the more I exercise, the weaker my body becomes."

Itachi thought for a moment, then suggested softly: "Exercising should be done step by step."

He didn't have too in-depth research on medical ninjutsu.But for exercise and practice, there are still certain opinions.

When people gain power, they also need to consume the energy produced by other organs in the body, and they will not get it out of thin air.

People like Sakamoto Yusheng who don't have chakra can only exercise through gymnastics.

And exercise for a weak person like him...

If the body's absorption capacity is still not improved due to the lack of energy in the body, it will be more dangerous.

As for the Tsunade in his mouth, Itachi has also heard about it.

Senjujuma's granddaughter, Sarutobi Hiruzen's apprentice, and one of the rumored Konoha Sannin in the ninja world.

Because of his proficiency in medical ninjutsu, he has cured countless Konoha ninjas, and he has the blood of Senjujuma.Therefore, Konoha ninja respectfully called Konoha's princess.

And the princess of Konoha has the same status as His Royal Highness of the Kingdom of Fire in a certain sense.

And because Tsunade's seniority is higher, when Sakamoto Yusheng mentioned her, he also used a respectful tone and address.

There is no difference in architectural style between Sakamoto Yusheng's mansion and Itachi's home.

After all, we are all in the Land of Fire.

The difference is probably the quality of the furnishings and the difference in classification.

The furnishings of Uchiha Itachi's house are relatively simple, and most of them are swords.And Sakamoto Yusheng is all porcelain, gems, and gold that look expensive...

Soon, the three sat down in the main house.

Afterwards, another young and beautiful maid served all kinds of delicate delicacies on the low table in front of the three of them.

Sakamoto Yusheng did not ignore Kakashi because of his rudeness just now.Instead, a table was also arranged for him, and he was not really regarded as a guard.

"Well, there is still a difference between Kyoto and Konoha, right?"

After the meeting, Sakamoto Yusheng couldn't wait to ask Itachi how he felt about the journey.

He still remembered some of his speeches two years ago, completely unlike a ninja who only had fighting and killing in his mouth and heart.

"Kyoto...is more for life."

Itachi replied without hesitation, this is a natural answer.

Compared with Konoha, everything is based on combat power, and the idea of ​​​​better and easier combat is considered.

Everything in Kyoto is more towards everyday, more towards enjoyment.

These two forces are developing in different directions.But for the Kingdom of Fire, both are indispensable, so there is no need to compare.

But although he knew it in his heart, he didn't say it out, to refute Sakamoto Yusheng's interest.

"Interesting summary, it is indeed more life-oriented."

Sakamoto Yusheng is very satisfied with this answer, "People are intelligent and unique."

"People should enjoy life in life, not suffer like animals."

"If everyone could understand this truth, instead of fighting each other, how wonderful the world would be."

"yes……"

Itachi nodded without retorting.

On the side, Kakashi, who was about to take off his mask to eat, stopped his hand, and then disappeared without touching the food on the low table.

During this process, Itachi could clearly sense the hidden anger in Kakashi.And he didn't leave the room, just hid in the dark.

"He is..."

Sakamoto Yusheng looked at Itachi in confusion.

"He might not like eating these."

Itachi helped Kakashi excuse, and then mentioned some other topics, "Speaking of which, the furnishings in His Highness Yusheng's room are quite old..."

Kakashi's anger was probably due to Sakamoto Yusheng's naive words that did not treat ninjas as human beings.

Although in a sense, ninjas often call themselves tools, tools that obey orders, but when they actually hear these words, most people still feel uncomfortable.

As for what Sakamoto Yusheng said "people should enjoy life in life", Itachi just felt ridiculous in his heart.

War can be ended and is the ideal of most people.

But having truly seen the conflict between the two worlds, Itachi knows very well that the war cannot be ended.

People like Sakamoto Yusheng, who are at the top of the class, of course hope that the world will be peaceful and stable, and that there will be no war to shake their status and identity.

But people who are at the lower end of the class, or... people who have power in themselves, will never be happy to see the status quo continue.

The minimum prerequisite for avoiding disputes is equality.

And equality is absolutely impossible.

And even if the minimum premise of equality can really be achieved, the desire of Keren will not be erased.

Therefore, the war cannot be ended.

The world cannot be safe forever.

Chapter 120 Four: [Candidate for the next Hokage]

"Today... Itachi and Yusheng Sakamoto talked about this?"

Under the night, in a reception courtyard of the Daimyo Mansion, Hiruza Sarutobi, who finished a long day's talk with the daimyo and briefly greeted each other, was listening to Kakashi's report.

"Most of the time, Usao Sakamoto is asking questions, and Itachi is answering." Kakashi nodded and replied, "And what Usao Sakamoto is asking is Itachi's views on the country governed by daimyo along the way."

"But it sounds a bit like showing off the life of an aristocrat."

"Sakamoto Yusheng is a child who is well protected by the daimyo and Sakamoto Xiaqing."

The implication is that he is naive.

Immediately afterwards, Kakashi seemed to think of something again, "There is one more thing, although at the beginning, they acted very familiar when they met."

"But later, from eating together to chatting, I can feel that the relationship between them is not so familiar, they should be just ordinary friends."

"Uchiha and daimyo...should have no connection."

In a sense, as a subordinate, he should not say such words that affect his judgment.

But Kakashi's perception of Uchiha is different from that of ninjas from other families, like his former friends, and he doesn't regard Uchiha as such a withdrawn, arrogant, and crazy family.

Therefore, Kakashi did not want this family to be implicated because of wrong information.

"Really……"

For Kakashi's explanation, Hiruzen Sarutobi was not angry or surprised.

On the contrary, if Kakashi has been on his side and has no friendship with Uchiha, he will feel grudges instead.

Soon, Kakashi asked hesitantly, "Master Sandai, how long do we need to stay here at the Daming Mansion?"

"It may take a while, at least a week."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi said helplessly, "You also know that these nobles are different from us ninjas in some ways."

"For a simple matter, they often have to go back and forth several times before they can negotiate."

"Like today, I didn't have a chance to talk about serious matters at all, so I was dragged by the daimyo first to participate in a banquet and met some people."

"First Clan"

Although it is for wartime supplies, after all, there is no official movement from the Kingdom of Thunder.It's just a change in the deployment of troops.

Out of military sensitivity, both he and Shimura Danzo speculated that there should be a follow-up to this change in the deployment of the Thunder Country.

However, he personally considered it from a political point of view, and the Kingdom of Thunder, which had just ended the war, should not make a move.

So Sarutobi Hiruzen was not in such an eager mood for these wartime resource requests and demands.Instead, I feel embarrassed because I repeatedly ask for resources.

Due to the Nine-Tails Rebellion, when Konoha Village was rebuilding, the amount of resources consumed was undoubtedly huge.

During the reconstruction, they had some internal discussions and took advantage of this opportunity to renovate some old areas of Muye Village, so they once again raised a demand for resources.

and so……

This is the third time that Konoha Village has asked the daimyo to provide funds in just ten months since the Nine-Tails Night happened, and the request for the amount is higher each time.

"A week?"

Kakashi was a little worried about the estimated time, "Including the journey back, it should take a month."

"Master Three Generations, during this period of time, will... anything happen in the village?"

"After all, Danzo Shimura secretly dispatched root ninjas to attack you, so blatantly. If you hadn't expected it in advance, I would have planned to pretend to be you and travel, and he might have succeeded."

This time Sarutobi Hiruza went out, and arranged for three groups of people to leave the village at the same time, and go to Kyoto City through three different travel routes that can support each other in time.
